Knit a square and do something great this Christmas!

As the festive season approaches and money is tight we are going to have a traditional Christmas this year.

I have been looking for something to get the kids to do that would give them a real sense of Christmas. I was sent an email via a group I belong to on ebay and thought it fitted the bill perfectly.

Knit a suare is an organisation who asks you to knit an 8" square and send it to them, they then make up blankets for AIDS orphans in Africa. Please click on their logo below and join in. We could all make a difference with just one square each!

About Me

Born in Guildford Surrey, I now live in Whitehill, Hampshire With my Partner, Daughter and Stepson.
I completed City and Guilds parts 1 & 2 Creative Embroidery at the renowned East Berkshire College in Windsor in 2007.
I was awarded first place in the wearable art section of the National Quilt Championships 2008 and 2009 held annually at Sandown Park.
My work is often inspired by the sights and sounds of old fashioned fairgrounds and steam, the bright colours and the beautiful artwork and carving has always fascinated me. I also find the industrial nature of machinery a great inspiration.
